Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a sealing structure of a multicore cable.
  • Patent Document 1 a terminal water blocking structure for a multicore cable disclosed in JP2012-182924A (Patent Document 1) has been known.
  • the multicore cable includes electric wires covered with a sheath made of insulating resin. Portions of the electric wires pulled out of an end of the multicore cable are protected from moisture by a hot melt block that includes partitions arranged among the electric wires for separating the electric wires from one another and melted by heating while the partitions are arranged among the electric wires to fill among the electric wires.
  • Patent Document 1 JP 2012-182924A CN 103 794 922 A (D1) discloses an electric vehicle charger connector.
  • a virtual technology for sealing spaces among electric wires from moisture by attaching a sealing member to an end of a sheath of a multicore cable may be considered.
  • a sealing member may include a rubber stopper fitted on the end of the sheath and a cap fitted on the rubber stopper and pressing the rubber stopper against the sheath and the electric wires. With the rubber stopper pressed against the sheath and the electric wires by the cap, it is expected that water is blocked at a branching point of the multicore cable at which the electric wires are branched off so as not to enter into the sheath
  • time for melting the hot melt adhesive is not required. Therefore, it is expected that work efficiency can be improved.
  • the cap when a force is applied to the electric wires or the cap, the cap may become off from a proper fitting position relative to the rubber stopper and thus a sufficient pressure may not be applied to the rubber stopper. As a result, the rubber stopper is not sufficiently held against the sheath or the electric wires and thus water may enter between the rubber stopper and the sheath or between the rubber stopper and the electric wires.
  • the present invention was made based on the foregoing circumstances.
  • a sealing structure is defined in claim 1.
  • the holder includes a wire routing portion for guiding the electric wires pulled out through the through holes.
  • the holder includes a bracket configured to be mounted to a vehicle.
  • the sheath holding portion includes a holding rib that protrudes inward and extends along a circumferential direction of the sheath when the sheath is place in the sheath holding portion.
  • the sheath is pressed by the holding rib and properly fixed in the sheath holding portion.
  • the holder includes a first holder and a second holder fitted together, the sheath holder portion includes a first sheath holding portion included in the first holder and a second sheath holding portion includes in the second holder. It is preferable that the holding rib includes a first holding rib formed on the first holding portion and a second holding rib formed on the second holding portion.
  • first holding rib and the second holding rib are arranged so as to be staggered when the first holder and the second holder are fitted together.
  • the sheath is arranged so as to wind in the sheath holding portion and thus the sheath is further properly fixed in the sheath holding portion.
  • position guide ribs are formed at portions of the first sheath holding portion and the second sheath holding portion that are opposed to each other so as to protrude inward and extend along a circumferential direction of the sheath when the sheath is placed in the sheath holding portion.
  • the portion of the sheath which is pulled out of the rubber stopper and in a pull-out position is guided and held in a proper position with the position guide ribs. Therefore, it is possible to reduce a decrease in level of intimate contact between the sheath and the rubber stopper due to crook of the portion of the sheath 14 in the pull-out position and thus the level of sealing between the sheath and the rubber stopper further improves.
